One of the smartest people I know is my friend and she is one of the few I can have a real conversation with. She tests horrific on IQ tests though. So I'm pretty sure there are things IQ tests don't measure that I see as intelligence. Also, I test above normal but that doesn't seem to apply to anything in the real world. I mean I have strengths, but I also have incredible weaknesses that are ridiculous, so an IQ test sort of misses those. Personally there are things I value higher than IQ, like creativity. There are creative people of almost any IQ so they are not connected. Other people value compassion over IQ. And so on.
